Movies I've seen recently:

American Hustle (Already reviewed it in its own thread. Loved it.)

In a World (This is one fun flick. Lake Bell is adorable and it's a funny movie. I thought about Clodfobble, as it's about the voiceover industry. Also has Demetri Martin who is 40 and looks about 19.)

Blue Jasmine (I really liked it. Cate Blanchett is good as the former socialite going nutso. Perhaps I like her because she's nutso. I mean, I can relate. Anyway, think what you want about Woody Allen, he sure can make a film)

Dallas Buyers Club (OMG...good movie. Great story and cast. If you didn't know Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto were in it, you might not recognize them. Jared...who knew? You've come a long way from Jordan Catalano, my friend)

TV series on DVD:

I am going to start Season 5 of the Sopranos tonight. It's been fun going back through the story and filling in missing pieces, and remembering parts. The best episode (the funniest one, anyway) is Pine Barrens. I remembered the dialogue between Paulie and Tony on the cell phone, when Paulie and Christopher had taken the Russian into the woods and he got loose by hitting Chris in the head with the shovel they'd given him to dig his own grave:

Tony: Did you deliver the package?

Paulie: The package hit Chrissy with an implement.

But I"d forgotten that shortly after they're shooting at the Russian, running through the snowy woods. One of them must've just grazed the Russian's head, you see blood spurt out, but Russian keeps moving. Paulie says "maybe he's stunned!." Really, you gotta know Paulie, and imagine him saying it. It's hilarious!

eta: I was watching the opening credits every episode to time when 9/11 happened. The shots are of Tony driving home: view of part of city skyline, cut to sign for the New Jersey turnpike, cut back to skyline which includes the twin towers. That shot was in season 1-3 and cut out from 4 on. I just found that interesting, in a recent history kind of way.
